The formula for finding the surface area of a cube is 6s2, where s is the length of each side of the square. Evaluate for s = 10 to find the number of square centimeters (cm2) for the surface area of a cube with a side length of 10 cm.
____cm2
To evaluate the formula for s = 10, we can substitute s = 10 into the formula:
Surface area = 6s^2
Surface area = 6(10^2)
Surface area = 6(100)
Surface area = 600
The surface area of a cube with a side length of 10 cm is 600 cm^2.
